Hi,
I'm preparing for the PSM I assessment and I'd like to ask a question about the cross-functionality of the development teams. The Scrum Guide says:
"Development Teams are cross-functional, with ALL of the skills as a team necessary to create a product Increment;"
I participated in many projects where it was simply not possible for the team to posses all the necessary qualifications to complete an increment. We needed to outsource certain portions of the projects, like translations, or we needed to get expert opinion on some issues, like SEO, or server-related issues.
Do I understand it right that outsourcing certain portions of the project is OK as long as the team remains ultimately responsible for those portions?
Thank you for clarifying this.
Alan
